Made for everyday listening

Roger On is an intelligent microphone for hearing aids designed for difficult and ever-changing listening situations in noise and over distance to help improve your quality of conversations.

Conversation support

Roger On helps improve the intelligibility of conversations when background noise is present with speech-in-noise performance,¹ while also identifying and automatically selecting the person speaking. 

Online calls

With two-way audio streaming, both you and your online counterparts can hear clearly in noise while being heard above the noise.

Dining in restaurants

When in a restaurant environment, it usually includes a complex mix of sounds and background noise. With Roger On, distracting noises are reduced so you can capture the conversation.

Conversations in traffic

Engine sounds and road noise make conversations challenging. By transmitting the speaker’s words directly into your hearing aid, Roger technology helps overcome communication challenges.

Sports and recreation

Hearing coaches and teammates when playing sports can be a challenge. Roger On can identify who is speaking and helps eliminate background noise so you can focus on the game. 

Watch TV and more

Listen to the TV with a docking station that is provided with the Roger On mic or enjoy music by simply plugging the cable into a smart phone.

Long battery life

Be confident you won’t get caught without power with up to 8 hours of continuous use on a fully charged battery.

Presenter mode

In meetings or lectures, the presenter can wear Roger On as a clip-on lapel microphone and it will automatically pick up the voice of the speaker regardless of its position.

Streaming audio

Roger On can be connected to a laptop or TV’s audio output tp stream the audio directly to your hearing aids.
